Original Africa: wildlife treasure now on-line

Moving Images this week launches the Lamberti Trust Collection on-line for the first time.

Director of Moving Images Caroline Cook says the Lamberti Collection, a major wildlife footage archive, has added a large volume of original South African mammal and underwater footage to the Moving Images archive. But more importantly, this archive can now be searched on-line.

“This collection is a result of great shows produced by Peter Lamberti over 15 years, and will provide easily accessible, fresh content for documentary and factual productions around the world. The titles we are representing include Lions of Crocodile River, Big Cat Challenge and Greatest Shoal on Earth.”

Neil Harraway, NHNZ’s EVP Development and Marketing, has seen a number of NHNZ archive series move into production for Nat Geo Wild recently and is delighted that production teams can now access the Lamberti collection on-line.

“The researchers are dining out on the new imagery discovered in the Lamberti Collection. In a world where YouTube clips find themselves in HD shows on TV it’s great to have access to a whole new trove of broadcast-quality, professionally-shot wildlife action.”

Peter Lamberti, wildlife enthusiast and visionary, is the creative driving force behind the Lamberti Trust Collection. His obsession and enthusiasm for capturing nature’s beauty and raw power have led to the making of over 100 environmental and wildlife films. These films cover a wide diversity of species and explore some of the most beautiful and remote places in Africa.
